Activities at Middletown Grange Care Home
We aim to provide a variety of activities that will both mentally and physically stimulate the people we support. Residents have a range of different needs and interests, and it is crucial that these are reflected in the activities available, so that each individual is able to participate to the best of their ability. We organise both group and individual social events that everyone is welcome to take part in; there is a weekly outing to local places of interest, including the garden centre and the local farms, parks and museums. In addition, we enjoy regular visits from entertainers and even exotic animals. We also host events such as 'Beach Day' that relatives and friends are encouraged to participate in. Getting involved in charities is a big part of our ethos, so events such as 'PJs for Pudsey' and pirate-themed days are regularly hosted to raise money for different foundations, including the Alzheimer’s Society.

Life at Middletown Grange Care Home
Feeding the Birds
The weekly rota to keep our feathered friends happy is working well. This week several of our ladies took charge in replenishing all the community feeders.
We have so many little visitors, they should really enjoy the choice of suet, seeds and nuts (no doubt the local squirrel squad will have their fill too!).
Thank you ladies for all your hard work.
April Centenarian Birthdays
We're all getting very excited at Middletown Grange as April brings us not 1, but 2 centenarian birthdays! Two of our wonderful lady residents will turn 100 this month; on the 6th, and 25th April 2022 respectively.
We would love to make their birthday's extra special with your help, if you can spare the time to send them a birthday card, we're aiming to flood them with birthday wishes for such a landmark celebration.

ZooLab at Middletown
Our staff and residents took time to 'face their fears' courtesy of the ZooLab team who visited our home bringing many different mini-beasts and small creatures; full of legs and slime!
We had a wonderful time learning about all different kinds of animals and insects, their preferred food and their habitats. The snake, giant snail and tortoise were our residents favourites.
Even the tarantula with its hairy legs was (apparently) a delight to hold!
Red Nose Day - Comic Relief
For Red Nose Day - Comic Relief, our wonderful resident; Pat decided to personally decorate the baking clubs homemade cupcakes.
Each smothered in red icing with a smiley face to make her fellow residents and our guests giggle!
Well done Pat... they're simply the best and put a big smile on all our faces.
St Patrick's Day Display
We thought you'd all like to see our residents final St Patrick's Day display... they worked so hard to make it the most vibrant creation, with all the 'luck of the Irish' spilling out!
St Patrick's Day Display
Residents from around the home communities have started working on our St Patrick's Day display. From designing, to cutting out and painting each item. We have green shamrocks and gold coins for the 'pot' at the end of the rainbow!
It's wonderful to see how our activities coordinator; Mel is getting everyone involved, whatever their personal abilities.
We look forward to showcasing the final creation on 17th March when we'll celebrate St Patrick's Day in style.
